This could be the tensioner but I bet there was just something that got on a belt or a pulley that is causing the noise.

I would just get some stuff called belt dressing and see if it stops. If it does not then I would replace the tensioner as the incorrect tension is the next most likely cause.

Let us know what questions you have and we can go from there.
